Education

Eno created the Windows '95 operating system's six-second start up music despite later admitting that he's never used a PC.

In 1996, Eno helped to set up the Long Now Foundation, a non-profit organisation which aims to provide a counterpoint to today's "faster/cheaper" mindset.

In 2007, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg appointed Eno to advise on youth issues and help fix Britain's 'broken politics.'

"I do sometimes look back at things I’ve written in the past and think, "I just don’t remember being the person who wrote that." It’s funny because you didn’t notice that person leaving either." Eno quoted in The Telegraph, Nov. 22, 2010.

"My kind of composing is more like the work of a gardener. The gardener takes his seeds and scatters them, knowing what he is planting but not quite what will grow where and when – and he won't necessarily be able to reproduce it again afterwards either." Eno quoted in The Independent, Nov.11, 2012.
